Singapore SingTel to pick up iPhone in September?

iPhone headed to ThailandWith China-Apple negotiations still in limbo, it’s good to hear that Apple is still working to break into other Asian markets. We’re hearing that Singapore’s SingTel has secured a deal to start offering the iPhone in Singapore come September – following on previous reports that Apple was considering Thailand as a possible iPhone market. It’s unclear whether SingTel has agreed to the revenue sharing model that Apple has demanded from every other iPhone carrier (and the source of contention with China Mobile).The problem is that there are already an estimated 10,000 iPhones being used (unlocked, of course) in Singapore – making it difficult for Apple to ensure iPhone exclusivity to any Singaporean carrier, any Asian carrier, really. Apple previously sought legal recourse against iPhone resellers in an effort to stem the flow of unlocked iPhones into Singapore. Was this legal action enough for Apple to convince SingTel that they could be assured a reasonable level of exclusivity with the iPhone? Time will tell. The iconic handset is slated to go live on SingTel’s network in September at a $690 price point. [Via: Today Online]Thanks, Max!
